About this Item
VERY FINE without flaws. Personally signed by each artist on the limitation page, along with editor Kirby McCauley. This is number 169 in the original case as shown. Limited to only 300 copies, each one signed by the editor and artists on an illustrated signature page. Each one is bound in a deluxe material, with full-color and black & white interior illustrations, a full-color dust jacket, all housed in a custom-made tray-case featuring a special magnetic latch. There are over two dozen illustrations, along with six color plates tipped into each book, and a full-color dust jacket featuring artwork by horror legend Bernie Wrightson. With an over-sized page size, an extremely low print run, Dark Forces has been designed with the ultimate collectors in mind. Each edition features a deluxe binding selected from the finest materials available. In 1980, Kirby McCauley assembled a landmark horror anthology that set the benchmark for the genre. That book was Dark Forces, and while it has been imitated many times over the last twenty-five years, it has never been matched. This is the virtual "Who's Who" in the world of Horror and Speculative Fiction that sprang from the pages of DARK FORCES over twenty-five years ago. This special 25th Anniversary edition is now OUT OF PRINT, as it sold out within 36 hours from the publisher. A deluxe signed limited edition over 700 pages in length. This book contains the first appearance of Stephen King's short novel "The Mist". The artists include Bernie Wrightson, Alan M. Clark, Glenn Chadbourne, Keith Minnion, Allen Koszowski, Jill Bauman, Alex McVey, Chad Savage, and Erik Wilson.
